For years, Guadalajara has been synonymous with energetic brass rock—a sound that combines a horn section, punchy guitars, and an unshakeable rhythm section into a compact, danceable whole. After a highly acclaimed reunion club tour in 2024 and an intense festival summer, the band is more focused than ever in 2026: fewer dates, more substance for songs that have to work equally well live and in the studio.

The core of Guadalajara's aesthetic is dynamism: precise arrangements meet spontaneity, powerful hooks meet fine details. On stage, this creates a constant arc of tension—built up from breaks, call-and-response moments, and a groove that leans forward from the very first beat.

The band avoids pigeonholing: elements of rock, punk, and funk merge with classic brass power to create a unique sound. Their musical signature is evident in the melodic leitmotifs that run through the songs and an organic band sound that focuses on interaction rather than showmanship.

2026 is a working year for Guadalajara: songwriting, arrangements, pre-production – with the aim of adding new facets to their live set. The few shows that have been announced are correspondingly compact, intense, and curated: a close-up on what makes the band what it is.

Driving rhythms, polyphonic brass lines, dense guitar and bass foundations: Guadalajara condenses influences from rock, ska, punk, funk, and modern brass approaches into a striking live statement.
